I see, I shall try and be even more patient. then. [But she's only human. She doesn't want to rush Zuko, but sometimes it feels like she'll be an old maid first before even a gleam of attraction comes from Zuko regarding her.]

Thank you, Hikaru, I suppose I just wanted reassurance. I've never been in any situation like this before. I feel like I'm constantly misstepping and upsetting those I'd never want to hurt. I will give them their time and space. I know what is like to feel rushed regarding matters of the heart.

[It sucks. It majorly sucks.]

[Zuko is easily one of Hikaru's most important people here. He doesn't want to say this but:]

You have to look out for yourself, too. Don't put your own things on hold if you're waiting too long.

I suspect I shall insist upon a more definitive answer if I find I am waiting much longer. I am only so patient.

[irritated]

You're more patient than me. That's for sure.

[Hikaru would have been demanding answers yesterday.]

If you need anything else then let me know, okay? Things like this can be frustrating so I get it.

I would say I feel lost in the woods, but I know the woods. [She sighed.] I... I have absolutely no knowledge of how any sort of romantic relationship works. The only man I ever deeply liked, loved, perhaps even, I immediately could no longer see because I found out I was betrothed and could never see him again.

So, I truly appreciate your help, Hikaru. Thank you for being such a good friend.

Well, I can't really say I'm an expert on romance either. Taichi's been my first...everything. [But it means a lot to Hikaru that he's been a good friend and that someone sees that. Even if Hikaru doesn't feel like he's been useful at all. Not when all he can think about is how Kaoru or Tamaki would have handled this better.

But all he can offer is:] Talk to me if you have any other problems. Or if you want to. I just wouldn't mind, I guess.

[beautyrest]

Perhaps so, but the way you both adore one another is quite clear.

I will most certainly call upon you again, hopefully with much better news. I hope my patience is rewarded. Thank you for being such a good friend, Hikaru. I felt quite lost on all this.
